Explaining skill is the ability to present ideas clearly,logically and in a way that students can easily follow. It involves selecting appropriate words,giving relevant examples and linking new content with prior knowledge. The behaviours listed in the stem—organising ideas,using simple language and providing examples—are core components of this skill. Hence,the correct answer is explaining skill.

Option A:
Demonstration skill is mainly about showing experiments,procedures or processes in a visible way,which may involve explanation but focuses on physical showing rather than on verbal clarity alone.

Option B:
Explaining skill leads to conceptual clarity because it structures information coherently and anticipates learners’ difficulties. Since the stem emphasizes organised ideas and simple language,this option fits best.

Option C:
Stimulus variation skill is about changing teaching stimuli,such as voice,pacing or media,to maintain attention,not primarily about logical organisation of ideas.

Option D:
Probing skill relates to asking follow-up questions to deepen students’ responses and is focused on questioning,not on initial presentation of content.
